Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 45m

Yield 48 bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 cup chunky peanut butter
8 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Set aside an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  • Place cake mix, peanut butter, melted butter and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. The mixture will be thick. Reserve 1 1/2 cups for the topping. Transfer the remaining crust mixture to the pan. Using your finger tips, press the crust evenly over the bottom of the pan so that it reaches all sides. Set aside.
  • For the filling, place the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and 2 tablespoons butter in a medium-size heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir and cook until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined, 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust, and spread it evenly so that it reacheds the sides of the pan. Crumble the reserved crust and scatter it evenly over the chocolate. Place in the oven.
  • Bake until light brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
  • Cut into 48 bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator up to one week. (If they last that long) These freeze beautifully.

1 tsp baking powder
1 c butter or margarine, softened
1-1/2 c quick cooking oats
1/2 c chopped pecans, toasted
FILLING
5 squares semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
12 oz jar rasberry jam

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with foil. Grease foil lining.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the chocolate bars will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Chop the chocolate finely: This will help it melt evenly and create a smooth texture in the chocolate bars.
  • Use a variety of mix-ins: Nuts, dried fruits, and candy can all be added to chocolate bars for a variety of flavors and textures.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chocolate: Overcooked chocolate will be grainy and dry. Cook the chocolate until it is just melted and smooth.
  • Let the chocolate bars cool completely: This will help them set properly and become firm.

Conclusion:

Chunky chocolate bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of mix-ins to choose from, there are endless possibilities for creating unique and flavorful chocolate bars. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these chunky chocolate bars a try!
